Ingredients
  

  • 2 Ibs Lean Ground Beef
  • 1/3 cup yellow onion
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup crushed saltine crackers
  • 1/2 cup italian breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup apricot jelly
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp worcestershire
  • 3/4 cup ketchup

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 and start mixing the ingredients. I recommend removing any rings you may have on!
    Place in Prepared pan. For this much meatloaf you are looking at 9x13 type size. When I half the recipe, my favorite pan to use is a meatloaf pan that have two parts and catches the grease at the bottom.
    Bake for 40 min. Take out and top with half of the sauce . Return to the oven for another 40 minutes and then place the remaining sauce on top and voila!
    Let cool 10 min or so before slicing
    I love pair this with my Arkansas Green Beans. You will find that recipe soon under side dishes! xo

Notes

You can swap out the ground beef for ground turkey. Just make sure it is lean
Halfway through the recipe before I put the sauce on; If i am using a pan instead of a meatloaf tray, I will drain the grease drippings before I return to the oven.
Side note: Some ovens cook faster, so check on that meatloaf and make sure you are not over cooking it! Some of these newer ovens are like microwaves!
